The Essential Reading List For The ‘Whole CEO’

Stop, Ask, Explore: Learn to Navigate Change in Times of Uncertainty by Joan P. Ball

In the uncertain times that we currently find ourselves in, Dr Joan P. Ball challenges us not to stagnate or procrastinate when faced with ambiguity and insecurity. 

Stop, Ask, Explore takes a seriously proactive approach to problem-solving, and provides constructive tools to deal with interruptions and disruptions in life. Fundamentally she sees these moments not as daunting chapters of panic and indecision, but as important opportunities to reflect, reorient and grow in our professional and personal lives.  

Rather than shrinking away from or switching off when faced with difficult decisions, the author teaches us to acknowledge and confront change, notice the key transition moments when they arise, and capitalise on opportunities to get ahead. 

Stop, Ask, Explore is a glass-half-full guide based on years of experience and research. As well as working as a Professor of Marketing, Joan P. Ball is widely regarded as an authority on change and development ideology, and this book will certainly become one of the go-to resources for when you are faced with the inevitable ‘what now?’ moments in life.
